The lemon and maple syrup should be fine for anybody, but cayenne pepper can be a problem. I once tried cayenne pepper for an herbal cleansing program and it felt like a knife in my stomach. The blood type diet recommends cayenne for blood type O (50% of the population, lots of stomach acid, can eat much more meat), and lists it as negative for blood type A (40% of the population, low stomach acid, more vegetarian than meat eater). I am planning on using curcumin from turmeric spice instead of cayenne. Curcumin is not very bioavailable, so it can be used as follows: Boil 1 quart of water FIRST, THEN add one tablespoon curcumin (or turmeric if you can’t find pure curcumin) as it is already boiling. Cover and boil for 10 minutes, producing a 12% solution, that should be drank within a few hours. In 6 hours it will only be 6%, so it will not keep. Once cool enough to drink, you can add the maple syrup and lemon juice. Curcumin won’t speed up the metabolism like cayenne pepper, but it’s a miracle substance!
